Chapter 313: The Crisis Is Hidden (Part 2)

After the rain, the sky was clear, and the time of clouds was gone forever, but the clouds still enveloped my heart. Pei Xiu was sitting in the carriage, surrounded by more than 20 Jin soldiers, and five or six were on their way. The outer layer was 500 Han soldiers guarding each other along the way, which was extremely safe!

Unfortunately, Pei Xiu didn't feel any sense of security in his heart. The closer he got to the Yellow River, the more anxious he felt. He thought hard and tried to find a way to solve the crisis in front of him. He was forced to go to the Han Dynasty and returned to Jin State, everything was manipulated and he could not help himself. How could it be Pei Xiu's style of being an unjust dead person like this?

"The strength of the Han Dynasty is far beyond expectations. This attitude is a test and a manifestation of its ambition without any concealing its ambition. Even if you seek temporary peace, it will be difficult to last... Well? The worries of Jin State are that there is a strong Han in front and a rebellion in Liaodong in the back. If one of the ends can be solved, you may be able to survive!"

Thinking of this, Pei Xiu meditated carefully. If he wanted to convince Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima You, that if he wanted to settle the chaos in the Northeast, he needed careful planning, otherwise it would only backfire!

I don’t know how much time has passed, and you can vaguely hear the sound of war drums coming from afar. Pei Xiu said in his heart: “Where is this, and where does the sound of war drums come from?”

There were several attendants outside the carriage, saying that they were attendants but were just those sent by Jin State to monitor Pei Xiu. Pei Xiu was naturally clear about this and had no objection. As long as he served carefully, he had nothing to pick on.

"Sir, I have arrived at Guandu. It seems that the Han soldiers are training, but I want to avoid the road?" A servant rushed back and asked for instructions after inquiring.

Guandu is now a fortress of the Han army and a frontier position. It is not surprising that there are soldiers and horses to train. You should know that the Guandu guard Qi Wannian is one of the most warlike generals among the Han army. With such a general commanding the troops, this Han army must be quite fighting!

The relationship between Jin and Han has not yet been determined. In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, Jin is just the embodiment of Wei. Before the old grudges have been over, they are also a group of warlike people. Even if Pei Xiu's envoy team is protected by the Han army, he has many concerns on the Guandu Road, which may not be safe.

Even if it is not damaged, it is not worth being humiliated. You should know that the envoys are the face of the country. This time, the Han Dynasty was not received by the Han Dynasty emperor. If they were teased by a group of martial artists, it would be impossible for them to be Pei Xiu, but the relevant entourage members would also have their heads to land!

"Don't worry, just walk straight away." Pei Xiu glanced at the slightly panicked look of the attendant's eyes, and said to himself. Even if the two countries broke down, there was no need to make things difficult for the envoys with the Han Dynasty. Pei Xiu was sure and fell into deep thought again.

The convoy moved slowly, and the sound of the Han army training in front was getting closer and closer. The war drums, horns, slogans, and shouts continued to increase. The size of the sound could also be analyzed to the Han army training in the size of the sound! What caught my eye was countless Han soldiers practicing hard according to the procedures, turning a blind eye to the small convoy and ignored it at all.

Even so, the dozens of soldiers and servants present were trembling in their calves and walked slowly with trepidation. This scene was really shocking, and this formation was really shocking. Even Pei Xiu in the carriage pricked up his ears and frowned slightly!

"Hmm? This is... riding and shooting!!"

Pei Xiu lifted the curtains suddenly and saw nearly ten thousand Han family cavalry roaring on a slope near the side, everyone was raising their bows in their hands, and arrows were pierced on the grass target wherever they passed! This is the world-famous alien riding and shooting, but now it is the Han family cavalry is using it!!

There is no need to say much about the power of riding and shooting. How could Pei Xiu not know as a wise man of the generation? The Han cavalry in front of him was unified in action and agile in his moves. A huge murderous aura condensed around the battlefield. The cold feeling constantly invaded his body and mind, making Pei Xiu fall into an ice cellar.

It is not that the elite soldiers of a hundred battles do not have such momentum, and how can the elite soldiers of a hundred battles have such skills? More than 10,000 cavalry are all long bows on their backs and spears on their sides. Pei Xiu secretly compared the conclusions that the Jin cavalry reached with him, even though he was shocked!

The elite cavalry of Jin State came from the Hebei Iron Cavalry left by the Wei State. The Hebei cavalry was famous for repelling foreign races and fighting bravely. In theory, they were the nemesis of the alien warfare techniques. However, although the alien cavalry and shooting are extremely powerful, they lack the checks and balances of laws and conditions and have few formation constraints.

The Han cavalry learns from their strengths and weaknesses, attacks the formation with rigorous formation changes, and uses powerful cavalry shooting to kill the target. Compared with the alien cavalry shooting, does it increase its combat power by more than twice?

If the elite cavalry of Jin State are fighting against it, according to Pei Xiu's estimate, it would probably take more than 30,000 cavalry to annihilate this Han cavalry with more than 10,000 people.

Jin State has just been established and has been dismissed again. The elite cavalry is probably only more than 10,000. Where did the number of 30,000 come from? And why did the Han army have only more than 10,000 elite cavalry?

Her face changed again and again, Pei Xiu stared at the Han Qi in the distance without turning his eyes, and inexplicably heartache surged into her heart, instantly occupying her entire chest cavity, a trace of sorrow flowed out, and she could only sigh softly.

How powerful was in the Great Wei back then, but now he looks up to others. Is this God's will or is it difficult to reach human power?

The convoy continued to move forward, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing. After seeing Pei Xiu's extremely ugly face, several attendants seemed to know the seriousness of the matter. The Han army was diligent in training people in the border fortress, and the covetousness of the Great Jin State of Hebei was self-evident. This diplomatic mission returned in vain.

Not to mention the possibilities that will be added to one's personal situation, the prospects of the Great Jin State are enough to make people feel worried. It is true that it is not because of patriotism. It is not because of the transformation from a Wei person to a Jin person, and not everyone finds a sense of belonging so quickly.

I just feel that no matter how the country changes, the eternal opponent and the increasingly powerful enemy are so powerful that they can't get rid of it!

This feeling makes people feel very depressed, very unhappy, and even more depressing...

The Han army passed by from time to time along the way, and ignored the team in front of him with the flag of Jin. Seeing the Han army passing by incredibly strong and neatly, the momentum was amazing, and he was even more worried. It was not only the elite level of the Han army, but also the quality of the army and the military discipline were just as flawless.

The battlefield's bleak aura gradually faded away, and the deafening shouts and killing sounds had already fallen behind him. The sound of rushing waves of the rolling Yellow River water came towards him, with a unique aura that made people fascinated. Finally, I arrived at the shore, finally arrived at the dock, left the man, and left the old place, and felt as heavy as a pound in my heart.

After getting off the carriage, the ships of Jin State were still parked in old places, but there was a building on the side of the ship with bright flags and crowds of people.

There was no time to watch, Pei Xiu said goodbye to the escorted Han army without any interest and was about to board the ship. However, he saw a team of Han army coming towards him. The leader of the scholar laughed loudly and said, "I thought I would never know this in this life, but I didn't want to see him at first sight. Jiang Tong is polite!"

Pei Xiu was slightly surprised and clasped his fists and said, "I heard that Ying Yuan was valued by the Han Lord, why did he come here? Could it be for Pei?!"

Jiang Tong had already become famous in the Wei State, and he seemed to be on par with Zhang Hua. Since he defected to the Han Dynasty, he has gained the trust of Liu Chan. Among the famous scholars of Jin State, he has his own evaluation of Jiang Tong. Sima Yan could not appoint Jiang Tong, and it was understandable that Jiang Tong left Sima Yan.

This move not only saved the family, but also made Jiang Tong's career successful!

Jiang Tong grabbed Pei Xiu's sleeve and said, "Don't be surprised by Ji Yan. Since it is a meeting, let Jiang Tong see him off during this period of journey!"

As he spoke, Jiang Tong pulled Pei Xiu to board the brightly-flattered tower ship. When Pei Xiu secretly shouted that something was wrong, he was enough to step onto the tower ship, but he had no chance to turn around. Pei Xiu's entourage raised his feet and wanted to follow him, but was stopped by the Han army and sent to the Jin ship.

In the Han army territory, these Jin subordinates He Jiashi had no intention of resisting. What they heard and saw along the way had already made people tremble in their hearts and had no idea of ​​resisting at all. Looking at Pei Xiu, who was on the other boat, followed Jiang Tong onto the stairs, climbing several floors in succession.

The two warships slowly sailed off the south bank, and the rituals and music were heard on the Han boat, and the dance was graceful. Jiang Tong, Pei Xiu, and several Han Dynasty officials sat on the top floor, watching the dance and enjoying the fun. In just a moment, the delicacies and wines were presented one by one, and a banquet began.

...

Xuzhou.

Jiang Shengchu was the commander-in-chief, and the military and political power in the Prime Minister Xuzhou was in full swing. On this day, Jiang Sheng summoned his advisers and generals to gather together to discuss the affairs of Liaodong.

The emergence of alien races complicated the situation in Liaodong. The Han army's previous arrangements were enough to resist the Jin army, but they might not be able to resist the joining of alien races. It is the current thing the Han army should do to win over this alien race, or to divide and provoke the relationship between Jin and alien races.

However, the leader of the alien race was Wang Rong, the general of Wei back then, which is incredible. With the position of the former general of Wei, whether to stand on the side of the Han Dynasty to attack the Sima family or continue to fight against the Han Dynasty on the side of Jin. This is not difficult to choose.

The Wei State has been destroyed, and Wang Rong has been outside the territory for a long time. To put it bluntly, his position is nothing more than interest! If he has enough interests, he can win over this alien army. Without enough interests, he can only increase this great enemy out of thin air!

"Wang Rong has lived outside the territory for many years and has been able to control the people of the clan as a Han person after experiencing the chaos of the foreign race. It is definitely not a simple person. Such conditions are easy to drive."

Lu Ji was almost in her prime. He was wearing a genius robe and a square scarf and sat at the head of the civil servants and talked happily. He was very wary of Wang Rong and was even more worried. As Lu Kang, although he was young, his actions in Xuzhou had already become famous all over the world, making Lu Ji and his younger brother Lu Yun the unscrupulous think tank in Xuzhou.

Luo Xiu smiled and said, "We have been in charge of Liaodong Cheng County for a long time, and giving in is not a wise move. Even if Wang Rong can resist the Jin people for us, once he has a foundation, it will be a problem." Such words are not far from Lu Ji, and Luo Xiu is also suspicious of Wang Rong's purpose.

Jiang Sheng nodded slightly and said, "What you said is quite reasonable, but we have not yet established a firm foothold in Liaodong, and everything is still in progress. Can there be room for improvement in this matter?"

The occupation of Liaodong was not only to pose a threat to Jin State and create a situation of attack on both sides. The Han army had its own purpose, but it had no direct relationship with Jin State. It is also because of this that the Han army in Liaodong was in a defensive position for a long time. The Han army on the south bank of the Yellow River was also mainly trained and did not respond to the north.

Lu Yun sat in his brother's position and said, "The other party offered the conditions, which must be the same for the Jin people. Compared with the two, we have no advantage. If we want to win over, we must increase the bargaining chips, but if this is the case, it has delayed Your Majesty's plan. Moreover, Wang Rong's background has not yet been understood. Now delaying time is the only way, and it is even more urgent to figure out Wang Rong's intentions!"

Jin and Han have been confronted in Liaodong for a long time, and Jin is much weaker than Han. Wang Rong's troops are strong support for Jin, but they may not be of any help to the Han army. In other words, Jin attaches more importance to Wang Rong's alien army than Han, and Jin will agree with the same conditions, which is better than Han.

Wang Rong's ability to form a family among all ethnic groups outside the territory must have his own advantages. This principle is naturally understood, and it is necessary to have a purpose. Surviving in the gap between the Han and Jin dynasties is to gain benefits from both sides. The Jin State can get Wang Rong to drive away the Han army's occupation in Liaodong; the Han army with Wang Rong's support will have the confidence to advance into Hebei alone.

It is indeed very important to make what kind of choices and judgments. Only by understanding Wang Rong's current temperament and background can you better analyze the other party's motivations.

How could a great man be used?

Jiang Sheng thought for a while and said, "It is not difficult to delay time. It is rare to make complete preparations. You must never take the precautions of alien races lightly!"

Luo Xiushen said in the same feeling: "The Liaodong forces are only more than 20,000, and the Beihai Malong trains people every day, which is very threatening. We are at the critical moment of resting, and the manpower that can be mobilized is not enough to take into account both ends. Maybe this matter can be reported to Your Majesty?"

The Han army practiced heavily in Guandu, Puyang and other places, and the Jin army in Hebei was also very active, especially the Malong Army in North Hai, which was most frequent. Xuzhou also had to rest and restorate production, and restore production order to stabilize the production order, so that people's livelihood could be restored.

Therefore, the Han army can mobilize a lot, but if all aspects are taken into account, as well as money, grain, income and expenditure, etc., there are actually not many troops that can be mobilized. The more than 20,000 people in Liaodong may not be enough to deal with emergencies. God knows whether Wang Rong will cheat!

Reinforcements to Liaodong seem imminent, but once Xuzhou's troops are drawn, will Ma Long, the current number one general of Jin State, take action?

This matter is very important, and you must be responsible when making a decision. The matter must be reported to the Emperor Liu Chan of the Han Dynasty. But before that, the local prefecture should take action to start preparing.

Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "The land of Liaodong is related to Your Majesty's major plan. You must not make any mistakes. No matter what the result is, you should increase your troops and defend them. You can't just alert the snake. Everything needs to be carried out in secret." After saying that, Jiang Sheng glanced at the civil and military officials present with his eyes.

Lu Ji stood up and bowed, "I am not talented, I am willing to go to Liaodong."

"In the bitter and cold land of Liaodong, the body of the southern people of Shiheng is not the right choice." Jiang Sheng shook his head and denied Lu Ji's proposal, but it caused a lot of noise in the hall! In this place of Xuzhou, there are many soldiers in the south. How can Jiang Sheng say this to despise the southern people?

General Luo Xiu stood up and said, "Why do you think of us and other southerners? You must know that this is something that Your Majesty is very disgusted with!"

Lu Ji smiled and said without saying a word: "Since the general has a certain number, why should he use this method to provoke the general? Lu Ji went this time and Dabao Your Majesty's plan was implemented as scheduled. If the general doesn't believe it, he will issue a military order!"

"Hahahaha! I knew I could not hide it from Shiheng. I offended it so much, I hope you can forgive me." Jiang Sheng stood up and held his fists to express his apology. The generals' anger rose, but then disappeared, but the competitive spirit in his heart increased a lot.

"I have already calculated that there are 50,000 people in the local area, and only 25,000 people can be transferred. I will give 15,000 people to Shiheng. Shiheng can take the waves north and do everything cheaply. Have the right to kill first and then report, and this sword and seal are handed over to Shiheng!"

Jiang Sheng waved his hand and walked up to the two civil officials, holding a sword and a seal. It was the thing that His Majesty Liu Chanqin gave to Jiang Sheng to control the people from all sides.

Seeing this, Lu Ji's expression changed and said with a stern voice: "This is something that Your Majesty gave to the general, how dare Lu Ji pick it up?"

Jiang Sheng walked to Lu Ji's body, put the sword seal on Lu Ji's hand and said, "Your Majesty makes me do everything cheaply. What's wrong with this? Jin State is just a disabled person from Wei, but it is a rush to death without being stagnant. You should not take it lightly. I am the most suitable for going north, but I have no choice but to leave, so I can only ask Shiheng!"

"I think about the country, don't refuse."

"Lu Ji receives the order, please don't worry, General!" Lu Ji bowed seriously and turned around and left.

The generals present had an understanding of Jiang Sheng's demeanor and thought at this time. They couldn't help but secretly slapped their thumbs up and praised him for being the descendant of the general, and indeed his demeanor was the general!

Jiang Sheng nodded slightly, turned to Lu Yun and said, "I feel very at ease when Shiheng goes here. I leave 5,000 troops and hand them over to Shilong to guard a certain place. I will lead the army north to guard against Ma Long."

Lu Yun also understood that the situation was inevitable and could not be stopped, so he said, "Please rest assured that if there is any accident, Lu Yun should start all the Xuzhou horses as the general's support."

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "The State of Jin is eager to seek peace. I think Your Majesty will definitely not respond. Wisely as Ma Long should be prepared. This battle is inevitable. Please send Shilong everything!"

War does not mean breaking peace talks, but rather an opportunity for the two countries to sit down and talk. Only by letting each other understand each other's gaps and strengths can we strive to take the initiative in diplomacy. For the Han Dynasty, naturally, they do not want the other party to have a chance to breathe, but for the Jin State, it is necessary to fight to prove that it has enough qualifications to sit with the Han Dynasty.

Without the permission of Emperor Sima You of Jin, Ma Long had a long judgment on the peace talks, and was eager to try the upcoming battle and prepare for the battle!

The heroes have similar views. Jiang Sheng doesn't mind a small friction on the borders of the two countries. As long as he gains the upper hand, he can make Jin bow his head completely!
